    EP - 183 Learning about Legacy Coalition
    May 24 2024
    John Coulombe, Director of Spiritual Development for Legacy Coalition, joins the conversation this week to discuss his background as a pastor's kid. We also learn about John's history with entering the ministry and starting down the road as an intergenerational ministry leader. With 55 years in ministry, John met with Larry Flower, the founder of Legacy Coalition, along with other key people interested in starting a ministry movement for grandparents. Along with starting a group focused on supporting grandparents, they also asked what the Bible says about Grandparenting. A young man, Josh Mulvihill, who was not a grandfather, was starting his dissertation on the role of grandparents according to the Bible. John talks about how their group was puzzled about how they had all missed the information in the Bible about the role of grandparents. About eight years ago, after the group signed its charter, Legacy Coalition held its first event for grandparents. As John says, Legacy Coalition's mission is "We help Grandparents grow in their Biblical role so they can have a greater spiritual impact on their families." John talks about how, within a short time, they have seen an explosion of growth in their mission and those picking up on the ministry to grandparents or people entering the second half of life. John talks about how when he has people around him who are retiring, he talks with them about having a period to relax, travel, and do what they want to, but then he will call them into service and influence. We talk about how, in the Bible, there is a mention of retirement, where the church priests were to retire at 50. Still, that retirement was moving from physical labor to a calling of spiritually shepherding those around them compared to the physical acts of taking care of the temples and the appropriate sacrifices. You will enjoy this conversation and will no doubt learn more about what the Bible teaches about being a grandparent. To learn more about Legacy Coalition, please check out their website below.

    EP - 182 I am Fine
    May 17 2024
    With close to four million check-in calls, is a passionate company that ensures that seniors and other people living alone are safe and accounted for. Paul Hammond, the founder, and his brother started this business to have an automated check-in for his mother and her friends. Paul joins our conversation to discuss the background and driving force that led him and his brother to create a fantastic way to check on people choosing to live alone but at greater risk of medical or physical challenges. Paul talks about how this service comforts what he calls a person's care circle. How this service works is that a person receives a daily call and presses "1" on their phone to confirm they are well. When a person does not respond, a message is sent to that person's care circle, inviting them to call or text that person to ensure they are okay. Part of this service's benefit is that it also provides peace of mind to users who might have pets living with them and worry about what would happen to their pets if they were incapacitated. We also learned how care and assisted living facilities are adopting Iamfine's services to help check in on all of their residents without needing a physical check-in. You will enjoy learning about Paul's background and the service offerings.

    EP - 181 Rocking Retirement
    May 10 2024
    Kevin Lyles joined us this week to discuss his experience becoming a retirement coach. We discussed the difference between financial planners and wealth managers and how each helps grandparents and seniors plan for their financial future. Kevin also helped us understand what a retirement coach does to help retirees plan and develop their purpose and goals in retirement. As a retirement coach, Kevin works with his clients to define and create goals around the following: taking care of elderly parents, finding a purpose outside of their old profession, and determining what they want to do to enjoy retirement in terms of recreation. Of course, a big part of creating an enjoyable retirement is discussing what the grandparents want to do with their grandchildren. We also talk about making the right mindset and adjusting your retirement plan if you should find yourself needing to take care of and raise your grandchildren. Kevin's main area of expertise is helping his clients and others with their retirement mindset. He works with retirees to help them be optimistic about aging, retirement, and their relationship with their spouse. We talked about the importance of aligning the goals of both people in the relationship so that they can identify their differences and similarities. You are going to enjoy this conversation with Kevin and learn a lot about how you can plan to rock your retirement.
